We are just having fun reviewing and discussing comic books, graphic novels, manga, anime/animation, music and movies that we have recently read, listened to or watched.
Have you had enough of the week? With Private Island, they want you to take a listen to their latest single “Enough” from their Subreak EP. This has a nice sound to it and will set your weekend off right. If you remember our look at Six60, this single has a similar sound. Thanks to Private Island for sharing “Enough” with us through SoundCloud. Enjoy listening – Richard:
Alba Lua has released the single “Sell your soul – you’ll be free”. The vocals on this song get lost behind the instrumentals and when the guitar comes in it sounds a lot like our friends Six60. So I am assuming that Six60 is an influence for them. Give them a try you might enjoy them and don’t forget to check out Wild Honey Pies website for more Indy music info. http://www.thewildhoneypie.com/
Remember that Six60 is back in North America for a brief tour in March. If they are in your area be sure to get tickets. We at ComicPop are still waiting for them to hit the Kansas/Colorado area so we can see them perform live! Come on Guys, April is dying to see you. I also have other upcoming dates for the band listed as well.

Hey, April here. As y’all know, in this episode I am reviewing Six60. During that review I may have sounded a bit harsh. So I just want to say that I really like the group. I was in my critique mode for this one I guess lol.

Welcome to Episode 2 of ComicPop Visits. In this episode we visit with Chris Mac the Bass/Synth player of the New Zealand based band Six60. The visit was done through Skype and with us being in Kansas and Chris in New Zealand we had a few fades, but I believe everyone will be able to understand what was said. Six60 will be touring the North American region starting October 2. To get a schedule of their tour dates you can see them below or go to their site www.six60.co.nz, to purchase tickets. If you can’t get to one of their shows be sure to visit their “Shop” link or iTunes to purchase their self titled debut album. It was great visiting with Chris so set back and enjoy our visit.

I want to congratulate Six60, their song “Forever” was used in the PreRace show for the 2012 Indy 500. It’s a great song and I’m glad to see you get the exposure. Below is the segment from the show from YouTube posted by Dqnyur and the complete song “Forever” posted by Six60NZ. Below are links to Six60’s page to purchase their album, iTunes and Facebook page. We will be reviewing their album in an upcoming Podcast that will be released in October.
